About me and my therapy practice
I’m a person centred counsellor but enjoy working with an integrative approach, but always putting your needs first.
I enjoy working creatively with your permission, using art as part of the therapeutic process
I work at a pace suitable to you to help you work through whatever you are struggling with.
I work from home, face to face, online and also offer walk and talk sessions, I love the outdoors and have found my walk and talk sessions to be really helpful.
I am a qualified mindfulness practitioner and enjoy incorporating that into my work.
I also have vast experience with adults, children and young people who are neurodivergent. (ASD,ADHD)
I come from an art and design background, often my clients enjoy working creatively to express their feelings.
Outside of working hours I love nothing more than being outside wild swimming, walking and cycling.
